Crazy unbelievable action. Don't expect realism or deep plot, but love it for all it's gory glory…

Had potential to be something but really lost it due to too many twists in the plot…

Realest movie I have ever seen. As much action as the big movies but I bet no one has had a bullet fly at the screen at the viewers…

SPOILERS AHEAD.... First of all what kind of psychopath FAKE DATES someone for MONTHS just to make his ex jealous? Man has SERIOUS issues…
